Hunter Says Canelo is Doing Golovkin Dirty With Flat Fee Offer
By Miguel Rivera
Virgil Hunter, who trains Andre Ward, Amir Khan, Andre Berto and several other boxers, has continued his criticism of Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs).
Hunter worked the corner for Khan when he faced Canelo last May at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After Khan was knocked out in the sixth round and the fight was over, Hunter dared Canelo to fight middleweight king Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs).
Obviously the fight never took place, with Canelo moving down to junior middleweight to capture the WBO world title with a knockout of Liam Smith last September.
Both fighters are set for big HBO Pay-Per-View encounters in the coming months, with Canelo facing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on May 6th at the T-Mobile, and Golovkin making a mandatory defense against Daniel Jacobs at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The big issue in finalizing Canelo-Golovkin for this coming September is the money. Canelo has offered Golovkin a flat fee - while Golovkin wants a reasonable percentage of the revenue. Golovkin reportedly rejected as much as $10 to 15 million.
Hunter agrees with Golovkin's position. He feels Golovkin is a big enough draw, and a big enough name, to receive a percentage.
Several years ago, Manny Pacquiao rejected a flat fee of $40 million to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. At that time, Pacquiao had never made that type of payday for a single fight. Pacquiao stood his ground, and in 2015 - when they finally fought - he walked away with well over $100 million based on a 60-40 percentage split.
Hunter believes Canelo and his team are killing time while waiting for the near 35-year-old fighter to get old.
"I just heard today [Canelo made an offer to Golovkin]... $15 million, you take it or leave it. I think even that is unfair, because you wouldn't make what you're going to make without [Golovkin's] popularity. If he wasn't who he was, you wouldn't be making what you're making. It's a leverage thing right now. It's pretty simple, they are just waiting until he gets old or hope that somebody knocks him off or

Has he even got a ppv cut (Chavez)?Wondering what are some of your standards if what Broner showed Saturday you call "fine"

He ain't fought in damn near a year breh. I told y'all granados ain't easy workWondering what are some of your standards if what Broner showed Saturday you call "fine"

idk about that... I don't view him by Mayweather standards, BUT... you said the other day you would favor him against Bradley and would pick him for an upset against Pac those are pretty fukking high standards in my eyes and he def didn't look like a fighter who would possibly accomplish that against Granados. Having a tough SD win against Adrian Granados is not something I call "fine" from a fighter who is supposedly much more talented than Granados.
Exactly style makes fights. That's why I think AB would beat Tim. Tom just doesn't have a clear path to victory. His defense and punch resistance has slipped so the porter plan might get him in serious trouble. And Tim not as athletic out boxing ab is not gonna happen. I still think Tim might be better but ab's style is all wrong for TimMayweather Standards are alot higher than anyone fighting today breh. Dont forget, as you're boosting Pac & Bradley, that Pac destroyed Bradley in every single fight.....but yet Pac didn't belong in the same ring as Floyd and took a wide L.
AB is nowhere near Floyd's level, however, he does possess the talent to trouble Pacquiao at points, possibly pulling an upset if he pulls it all together on the same night, and he beats Bradley because Bradley has nothing that he does that could trouble AB.
Again, 11 months ring rust and a broken left hand in the 1st round does that. However, he won. Got out thrown by 280 punches......280 punches bro.....and STILL outlanded AG by 20 punches. That takes talent, no matter if you wanna admit it or not, but not many fighters would win with1 hand vs a taller/longer pressure fighter on 11 months ring rust AND getting out thrown by damn near 300 punches.
Provodnikov gave Bradley the toughest fight of his career, Bradley beat JMM pretty clearly....don't tell me about "same leagues" bro, bc styles make fights, and I'm 1000% sure you wouldn't put Prov in a league over JMM
